Chapter 83 – Confrontation, the Witch of the Mind

Monstеrs thаt wеrе likеly being cоntrоlled by thе Witch of thе Мind саmе flуing through the skу to attасk.

Thе trеnd wаs…

“Lоts оf things that lоok likе Goblins with wings.”

“Thоsе аrе Gremlins~. Normаlly, if уou let them dо thеir own thing and have thеm hаndle machinery оr сontraptions, theу’rе first-rate, but сontrоlling this mаnу mеans you havе to supрrеss thеir individual pеrsоnаlities.”

“In othеr words?”

“It’s a сompletelу wrоng way оf using thеm~. Thе Grimoire оf the Mind is a sеrvile thing, sо it just unсonditionally affirms its оwner аnd wоn’t рoint оut stuff like that!”

“Ugh, it’s likе а usеless leаder tуре whо just аvoids соnfliсt!”

※ “Little Flоtа’s explanation is easy to understand!” “I see, so the Witch of the Mind is wasting her treasure.” “You’d think Mind Magic could do a lot more, huh.”

“Really!”

By the way, there was a problem.

The Witch of the Mind had a human form.

That meant that from the Listeners’ perspective, it would look like human vs. human.

And what’s not good about that is…

Footage of a person killing another person is highly problematic!

Even in this age of great Dungeons, ethical sensibilities haven’t changed that much from before.

“That’s right. Let’s think about that a bit as we go, shall we?”

Are they an opponent we can afford to be that relaxed about?

“She herself is weak~. It’s just troublesome that she brings her entourage. The current Witch of the Mind has no talent~. She’s completely swept along by a Grimoire that just affirms everything. The previous one didn’t trust what the Grimoire said, so she was strong~!”

I see… I conversed with Flota via Telepathy.

First, while flying, Mode Change!

“First, ASMR! With the Flying Head Spirit Microphone… please give me Karaage-san as a regular…”

As Spice’s voice resonated, the Gremlins’ movements clearly slowed.

They swayed unsteadily, completely losing coordination, and attacked in a scattered, disorganized manner.

“Metamorphose! Ignite Spice!”

Wrapped in an orange light, he transformed into Ignite Mode—his usual Gothic Lolita dress now accented with orange!

From the various tubes in his hands, he launched Torches.

“Hyah! Come and get cut—!!”

He pressed the Torches against the Gremlins attacking him in a dazed state, one after another, sizzling and burning them.

That’s right!

The Torches only spew fire, so they can’t cut!

But it seemed that burning part of their wings greatly reduced the Gremlins’ flight ability, as they fell while shrieking “Gyaaah!”

They didn’t seem that strong as combatants.

“Yatagarasu is holding his own~! What is up with that person? Are there really humans who can fight a Stampede alone?”

“There are quite a few among Streamers…”

I informed a dumbfounded Flota.

What’s up with Streamers!

“Alrighty, Fireball’s going out too!! Fly out, Fireball!! And with this Torch… Kaking!!”

He fired a Fireball!

It exploded amidst the swarm of Gremlins.

The Fireball, shattering upon impact with something, demonstrated its power in group battles!

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

Firing Fireballs in rapid succession, he passed through the blast waves!

When in Ignite Mode, he doesn’t take damage from fire, after all.

Whoa, the hot wind feels cool.

“Mmy Masterrr! You seem to have mastered the Fireball, haven’t you! Well then! I shall lift the restriction on the Explosive Fireball!!”

“Explosive Fireball!?”

※ “A new move is here—!!” “What’s it like!?” “Try using it, try using it!”

“Ho-hoy! Burst forth, Explosive Fireball!!”

The reading is probably Explode Fireball!

A huge fireball appeared!!

When he gave it a little poke with the Torch, it rolled through the air like a bowling ball.

The Gremlin swarm grew wary and scattered a bit, but…

The ASMR was robbing them of their meager coordination!

The Explosive Fireball didn’t care and caused a massive explosion right there.

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

“Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!” “Ugwaah!”

The explosion was huge—!!

Dozens of Gremlins were caught in it and turned to charcoal.

That’s like dynamite or TNT level.

“Tamaya—! But in the real world, it probably wouldn’t have that much power.”

“Mmy, at the Explosive Fireball level, if Master’s power increases a bit more, you’ll be able to pulverize a small building even in realityyy.”

“Scary scary scary.”

Grimoire of Flame, your murderous intent is way too high.

But with this Explosive Fireball, the sky was mostly cleared of enemies.

The surviving Gremlins seemed to have regained their senses from the shock and were fleeing at incredible speed.

Yeah, yeah, it’s not good to rush into certain death!

And now we’ve arrived, above the Witch of the Mind!

“You’ve come, you damn brat Witch!! You’ve been looking down on me all this time!!”

The Witch was shouting from below.

A small fry…!!

An overwhelmingly small fry…!!

But I knew her ability alone was first-rate.

“Getting too close seems like a bad idea…”

※ “Bad idea how?” “Go for it, Little Spice!”

“I’ll erase all your hangers-on!! Memory Bash!!”

Ah, here comes the dangerous one!

Spice hurriedly took evasive action, even though he couldn’t see anything.

And in the Comment Section…

※ “Huh? Why was I watching this Stream again?”

Comments like that flowed… and the Concurrent Viewers decreased slightly.

She blew away the Listeners’ memories!

Just as I thought!

The most dangerous part of her attack had arrived.

I want to finish her off before she seriously uses that, but…!

“Master! Sense Magic detects a Dragon approaching! That guy is coming again~!!”

“Whoaaa, an insane intruder is coming to the Witch fight—!!”

“You damn brat—!! I’ll take everything from you—!! I am, I am a great Witch who has lived over a hundred years—!!”

She over there hasn’t noticed at all.

“That Abazure probably has Sense Magic too… but she seems too enraged to even think of using it~. Master.”

“Yeah, let’s get her caught up in the Dragon fight and take her out!!”

A dot-like thing could be seen in the distance.

The Green Dragon was coming.

It’s a threat to Spice too, but at the same time, you are also the key to victory!
